Nail tech here, keep in mind your nails can also be naturally flimsy after removal due to the chemicals used ! After 24 hrs, they will be a bit sturdier once all the chemicals have been aired out/evaporated/washed off! I learned this in school! Especially after acrylics removal

[@stefanywashington3994]

Never knew this ! Thank you 🧡

[@soude85]

How are so many people not aware of this-have you never been in the bathtub, lake or sea for too long?! Even water will make your natural nails flimsy and it takes a while for them to dry…

A dot of UNT peel off base makes everything so easy to remove. I only use a small stripe along the middle of my nail, because they will lift off immediately if I cover the whole nail. I do my gel once a week.

[@user-cw5js7nj8z]

that’s so smart!!

[@liastorm795]

Thanks!

[@cyl1833]

Thanks!!! I applied on the whole naiI and it lifted up so easily, made me think the unt peel off base doesn't work with gel polish. Then I don't need to buy a peel off gel base!!

[@happiifulme]

Oh, so that’s how. I cover my whole mail and my nail polish comes off in a few hours hahaha

[@devilsspit]

I was gonna say I put gel on my natural nails and all I put under it is base and this is exactly what happens so maybe I should try doing that

[@sweetnlo13]

File, file, file! You want the thinnest layer you are comfortable getting before the acetone wrap. Personally I don't need to wear them more than 5 minutes before the gel just falls off. If your gel isn't falling off, use a hand file then wrap them again. Never should any force be needed to remove gels. They should essentially fall off

[@Alejandrapark97]

The only way that press on can be reused are if you put them with the sticky tabs, if your using glue they has to be soak off with acetone, because if you rip them off the press on is going to take away layers of your nails, so please use and remove them correctly (bad English alert)(I'm a nail tech)

[@trapboujeebabe]

I make press ons at home and soak them off with oil, dish soap & warm water & they are 100% reusable.

[@lizmaryf7892]

Most press on glue breaks down with water exposure so oil and water can soak press on’s off but since she had a thin layer of builder gel it made her press ons a little more permanent.

[@xiii000]

That’s not true (I’m also a nail tech). They can still come off with warm/hot water, soap, and cuticle oil. Her issue was the layer of builder gel the press on was attached to. Of course with that it needs to either be drilled or acetone soaked off.

[@francescavolpe8726]

How long do they last with nail glue? and with sticky tabs?

[@KomedyIcon]

which type of fake nails can easily be taken off within a few hourss? I only want to wear them for a few hours to an even but dont want too much hassle taking them off? Thanks :D@@xiii000

[@hyuka.mp3]

i recently also ruined my nails by using press ons incorrectly 😭 i got them off and instead of taking the remaining glue off my nails with an acetone soak, i buffed it all down and made my nails super thin and fragile (was distracted while filing and noticed too late…). i painted them for extra support but now im just waiting for them to grow out and taking collagen to strengthen them again 😭😭😭

Bruh if u have an electric efile quit using this method from 15 years ago of soaking ur nails in acetone, remove everything with the efile not only u won’t damage ur nails but also it’s gonna be quicker !!!!!! 😊

[@84rinne_moo]

Yea I used to think it was the gel itself but it was soaking in the acetone which was actually the most damaging! I started using peel off type base coat and my nails are much better! I only use a little acetone when necessary

[@samara.morgan]

Acetone makes my fingers and cuticles so dry, it's not worth it! I use nail drill now and I don't need hand cream or oils anymore :)

[@emilya6373]

Exactly. Soaking your nails in acetone will fucking ruin them. Either file down completely, or leave the thinnest layer and use the acetone like actual nail polish remover. No soaking nails in acetone.

[@KayMarieD]

E files dmg your nail more than acetone fyi

[@_brushed_beauty_]

Oh no ... 😢 I can feel your pain 🥺 I'm so sorry that happened to you ☹️

[@naan6348]

I ruined my nail using nail tips 😭😭. I over filed when trying to remove gel polish because I ran out of nail glue and acetone and now my nails that were once strong are thin flexible and sore. Take this as a learning lesson and make sure you’ve got the right equipment 😭😭

[@jasmine3847]

what is the right equipment? i thought to remove tips you file them down and then soak the glue off.

[@natalievu4399]

​@@jasmine3847I used a cheap electric file & now bought one from melodysusie. The difference is night & day.

[@lennie43]

You are not alone…. I did the same thing 😅

[@lainiereynolds8514]

Try al'iver gel remover. Works like a charm. You brush it on and the whole gel nail will melt off leaving your natural nail beautiful underneath

[@chickennugget5007]

Omg I def recommend if you want press on nails to last, do your usual nail prep, with dehydrator and primer, gel base coat, and add a layer of builder gel, once that is cured in the lamp then you wipe off the nail with alcohol, then you buff lightly at the builder gel layer, then buff under the press on nail, add nail glue to the press on nail and press on for abt 20 seconds then boom your nails do not come off…. I learned the hard way exactly what she did in this vid.

The reason I will never use press on nails again. It made my nails extremaly thin and fragile. I literally ignored the fact that I’m using the most chemical smelling thing I ever smelled to have plastic nails stay on my natural ones and removing it was a nightmare.

[@ShimaAlaeb-ux7pb]

Your natural nails are beautiful and you only need care and stay away from synthetic nail fitting, they destroy the natural nail.

[@amihomophobicifihatemyself8966]

When I was new to press ons, I tried soaking them in hot water and dish soap, but the didn't come off the whole way, so I ended up forcing them off and it hurt so bad that I felt light-headed 😭

As a girl who where’s press on nails almost every two weeks , when I go to the salon they always say my nails are super healthy! This has never happened to me , in my opinion I just think the nails weren’t ready.

[@Breegan]

can someone pls explain how builder gel is supposed to protect your nail ? my brain doesn’t understand that and just sees it as like putting the same as acrylic or just a gel topcoat on …

[@KateBlueberrykate]

👀

[@rosyr.3641]

Builder gel is meant to be its own enhancement, usually to help with thin nails. You cannot soak it off and it has to be filed off so it is like a double edge sword. For it to work you have to commit to it. If you use it as a base for press ons you're in trouble cause that's not what it is meant for. It's supposed to protect your nails from more damage but with builder gel you use gel polish on top, never another enhancement like fake nails. So using anything other than gel polish on top of builder gel will damage your nails.

[@Hail._.Storm.]

Soak them in a gelatin mixture with warm water. It helps harden the nails.

[@tseay2000]

I use poly gel and I get so impatient sometimes I pop them off and take off a whole 2 layers or nails and my natural nails are still ruined, I try to be patient but I also don't wanna file them down to take them off.

[@dreita27]

It’s always the impatience!!! No matter how many times I tell myself i kill my nails trying to take them off. So now I just keep refilling usually

[@tgibbus]

This is why I do not soak with acetone and I use a very low grit disposable nail file (using a nail drill saves time just please don’t over sand) and take it off. No forcing or over soaking needed. I’m allergic to acetone so it just isn’t an option. And it takes me less time to just file them off with the low grit drill piece

You're not allergic to it, can't be.

[@tgibbus]

@@samara.morgan ok god

[@samara.morgan]

@@tgibbus You don't understand, it's just not possible. It would put you in a really bad situation, your own body produces acetone through metabolism.

@@samara.morgan it literally makes my fingers swell and break out for days but I guess I’m not allergic to it because a random person says so 🥱

[@samara.morgan]

@@tgibbus You don't need to trust a random, Google is your friend. If your acetone is pure, the allergy is propably from gel chemicals dissolved by it. There's no need to be rude.

Hii, i just wanna ask how you took care of the damaged nail? Becausr im having the sane problem cause i removed them like tht

[@nijmegenares]

I ruined my nails next level...they are so thin that the product doesn't even stick on them anymore, it just lifts.

[@rockinsockmonkey8033]

I've had this issue before, you can try a rubber base coat, it might help. I even use a rubber base coat as the "glue" to attach full coverage tips.

[@nijmegenares]

@rockinsockmonkey8033 I had no idea it was this bad, until I noticed that the product kept coming off, I kinda thought it was the usual lifting...until I noticed my nails are super thin and damaged, at some nails it's almost like something sharp could go right through the nail. The rubber base kept on your nails even in this condition? I'm kinda scared to put something on again because if it also comes off I'm afraid it wil peel off the last layers of the nail (I noticed that every time I remove the gel with acetone thing layers of the nail come off also). Were your nails this damaged too?

[@rockinsockmonkey8033]

@@nijmegenares I'm not sure if mine were that thin, although they've definitely been super thin. Maybe there's videos of ppl using it on damaged nails, I haven't looked! Good luck ❤️ I hope something works for you
